On Saturday the writer chanced to meet two experienced and very successful gardeners, Mrs. James B. Tompkins and^Mr. John F. Atkins, both of whom claimed to have the best garden.

We learned something from the prize-winning gardeners that we shall profit by and pass on for tha benefit of others.

On Monday afternoon Mr. Richard W. Timmous left to seek his lortuue in the "wild and woolly west," having accepted a position with tho Chickasha Cuttou Oil Company, of Cbickasba, I. T. This company owns several large cotton oil mills, and Mr. Timmous will be superintendent of one of their mills. He was loath to hiave h iq uative heath, but aveiy teuipt .i.g offer having been mad i him Le decided to go to Chickasha and look into the matter personally.

VVbile he was in The Adverti ser office on a matter of business Monday morning, we questioned Mr. David Strother about his sheep, knowing that he was a very successful steck raider. . He has a flock of about 110 ewes. In the spring he sheared over 400 pounds of wool from them-about four pounds per head-for which he realized 23 cents per pound. The increase of Mr. Slrother's flock numbered over 100 lambs which ] he has been shipping at intervals i for several months, realizing a I good price therefor. A worthless ', ''yaller dawg" killed seven lambs 1 before Mr. Strother ciuld kill the j depredating canine. lu spite of '. this loss of about $30, he will net : a goodly sum from his sheep. Let .' it be said, however, that bis sue- ; cess is due to careful, personal at tention and good mauagemeut ? Mr. Strother sn.ys his crop is a little backward and small, but laking it all in all, he has the best prospect that he has had in teu i years. .

The old quarry, as the hole taat is seme distance in the rf ar of Mr. Powell's shop ie culled, is naid to be a great menace to the health of the community. It is a large pool rather cesspool-of stagnant water into which dead d<~gs, dead cats, dead chickens and otber things are dumped without let or hin drance. If fish and other ponds that have a stream flowing through them cause disease, certainly this hole that has no outlet is a place that fosters or creates disease germs The excavation was made by the national government and it is possible that the government would have it properly draiued.
